  • Publication number: 20240064196
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for automatic sharding and load balancing in a distributed data processing system. In one aspect, a method includes determining workload distribution for an application across worker computers and in response to determining a load balancing operation is required: selecting a first worker computer having a highest load measure relative to respective load measure of the other work computers; determining one or more move operations for a partition of data assigned to the first worker computer and a weight for each move operation; and selecting the move operation with a highest weight the selected move operation.

  • Patent number: 10511661
    Abstract: Methods and systems for n-way cloning and synchronization of a user desktop image are provided. Example embodiments provide a Cloning and Synchronization System (“CSS”) which binds a server stored CVD object representing the user's desktop image to one or more endpoint devices. Each endpoint device receives a clone of the CVD object that comprises one or more layers of the server CVD depending upon the suitability of the endpoint device hardware and operating system to the server stored desktop. The cloned CVDs in the endpoint devices are then kept synchronized by synchronization operations. In one embodiment, the CSS allows only one endpoint device to act as a master device and push up changes to the server CVD. These changes are then pushed down to the other devices using different synchronization methods dependent upon the layer.
